Monday 11/
Morning
The first step in my wearable art journey is to create the skirt of the dress.
Afternoon
Today we found out what materials are good for making a dress/skirt
I found out what materials you could put in our hair
I wondered what the top will look like tomorrow?
The most challenging part was getting the bubble wrap to form into a skirt

                    Now we need to start creating the top of the dress

     Tomorrow I will plan and create the veil

    The most fun part was seeing the result

Here is our planning sheet and us creating our skirt for our dress.

This is what we got up to by the end of the day

Morning

Yesterday we completed the skirt by decorating the bottom of the dress and adding rainbow reflected fabric.

We had difficulty with cutting the strips of fabric.

We found out that the dress got really heavy when we started putting the bottle tops on the top.

Working in a group is annoying because we don't get to do my idea.

Our outfit reflects to our element (air) because our skirt and veil is made out of bubble wrap and inside the bubble wrap is air, and the fabric is rainbow.

The Torbay Learning Model helps us by making us use our plan and it tells us what to do.

Overall

Overall I feel proud of what we've created.
The biggest success was completing the skirt of the dress
The most enjoyable part was seeing the result
The hardest part was deciding what to put in the hair
If I was to do this again I would choose earth for my element because there are more things for earth to put on my dress
I have learnt how to create a dress out of recycled air rubbish

This is our final result
